Issue

Integra Property Management group had been tasked to construct a large and robust grassed area to hold marketing events including a christmas theme village. Solomons Estate in Kent is within a SSSI protected area, and a solution to negate the intensive pedestrian trafficking that would put a strain on the grass was required. So a solution was sought to create a natural grassed area, that required no or little disturbance and in keeping with the natural beauty of the estate.

Solution

An area within the estate was levelled off, drainage
installed and the soil consolidated. Suregreen GR14 Grass Reinforcement Mesh was laid on top of the prepared soil and
seeded. The GR14 grass mesh was chosen so the heavily pedestrianised areas would
have structure and protection against the concentrated periods of foot
traffic. The plastic mesh protected the grass root structure and stopped the over
compaction of the soils. When not in use the area can be mown as normal
and will have the appearance like the other well-kept lawns within the Salomons Estate and not out
of keeping with the high standards required for the estate. The mesh was
installed in less than two weeks.
